President's
Message
The members of the Schubert Club are really out there. I just returned
from the Piano Ensemble Concert and loved every minute. Margie Katz is accompanist for the Norwalk Community College Choir
and invites us to attend its concerts. Sandra Shaw Murphy and Rita Lapcevic are continually performing as a duo and as members
of the Schubert Club Duo Pianists. Sandra also offers many wonderful concerts at the Silvermine Studio. The Chorale and the
Solo Singers are performing throughout the year. This is a sampling of how we are involved in the community.
The Schubert
Club is a group of talented professionals that come together to better the work environment, continue educating themselves
as teachers, and to have venues for performance. We offer many performing opportunites for our students. I joined the Schubert
Club so my students could be involved in the Young Musician's Festival.
These events continue to evolve only with
the efforts of volunteers. Some of us have taken on positions which involve many hours of work. Last year through the incredible
efforts of Melanie Andrews and Cheryl Lacy, we transformed the workings of the YMF.Last year, Melanie announced that she would
continue through 2008. That time is upon us and we need to insure the continuation of the YMF. Melanie has broken down
the stages into various committees. When each teacher attends the YMF, please visit the Teacher's Room and sign up for
a committee. If each of us does a small portion, we can continue the Festival. If no one signs up there will not be a YMF
next year. However I know we can make this happen.
As we move forward we have wonderful ideas about the Centennial celebration
in 2010. Please remember that all members are welcome to attend Board Meetings and all recommendations are considered.
I wish you all a very successful year.
Respectfully submitted,
Rhea Farbman
President
